A year-and-a-half after announcing it would massively reorganize the health-care system, Alberta’s government says it’s now in the final stages of the still-controversial revamp.
The United Conservatives are dismantling the provincial health authority, Alberta Health Services, reducing it to a hospital services provider and putting four new agencies in charge.
Health Minister Adriana LaGrange is proposing legislation that would officially shuffle workers represented by five different unions from AHS to a different agency and the Health Ministry.
Those handling front-line services such as immunization, newborn screening and health promotion will go to the new Primary Care Alberta agency.
